An Open Letter To My Congressman, David Price of the 4th District in North Carolina

This is a note I left on Congressman Price's website. I do not expect much out of him. He voted for cap and trade and repeated all the lies liberals made in regards to the legislation. He is able to do so because NC-4 is gerrymandered and include the UNC and Duke campuses which overwhelms the more conservative areas of Cary and Apex, NC. No doubt many of those college students are voting both in NC and back home as well. Enjoy.

Congressman Price,

Perhaps you can explain to me how the health care plan can expand coverage AND lower costs. Especially since the CBO has blown that nonsense out of the water on several occasions. One need only to look at TennCare in TN or MassCare to see what will happen.

Equally silly is the assertion on your website that in seven years Americans will be paying half their income for health coverage.

We both know that a public option will destroy the private insurance industry. They cannot compete with a government entity that is subsidized by the taxpayers. The result will by like today's Cash For Clunkers nonsense, the public plan runs out of money due to it being more costly than projected, and congress will send over another allocation of money. And as Massachusetts and Tennessee are finding out, it will be much more costly than projected.

The public option really is just a Trojan Horse for a single-payer system anyway. Several of your democrat colleagues have said so including Barney Frank. Is that what you support? Do you have the courage to say it out loud?

In closing, I would like to know when you will be having a constituent meeting so we can ask you these questions and more, including "Will you read the bill before you vote". And not in Chapel HIll or Durham with a college crowd, I suggest out in Cary or Apex with a group of constituents that are not screened and who will actually be paying for this takeover of 1/6th of our economy.

I sent a similar message to D Price and of course recieved zero reply. He's a piece of crap from
Chapel Hill. What can you expect

[The Opinionator]

He certainly has no use for the part of his district that is not made up of naive college students.

I contacted David Price about where he was having meetings during his break. Following is his reply - apparently he has no interest in being on TV from irate not prescreened voters

"I appreciate your recent e-mail and interest in the health care reform discussion. Much of my time during the August district work period will be spent listening to constituents in a variety of settings to gather their ideas and answer questions about health care reform and other important concerns before the nation. I also will be hosting my regular live, call-in show on Monday, August 10, at 7:00 p.m. on Time Warner Cable Public Access Channel 24. You can call and ask a question on air at 1-800-849-0632.

Later in August, I will also be hosting telephone town hall meetings during which callers can ask questions and share their views. Telephone town hall meetings allow for me to reach thousands of constituents and engage many more citizens in a direct interactive dialogue. As soon as details on those and other public events are available, information will be posted on my website at http://www.price.house.gov."

I'm sure only prescreened callers need to call in

David Price (D,4th) stacked deck "Town Hall" put on by SEIU tonight in Durham

Where: NCCU Miller Morgan Building
528 Nelson St, Durham, NC 27701

When: Thursday, August 13th
Arrival Time: 5:45 p.m. (get there early to be sure to get a seat)
Start Time: 6:45 p.m.

One of our contacts emailed information to us about parking at the NCCU. Please read that before you go. I don't know if they will really charge the $3 to park, but we want you to be armed with that knowledge if you plan to attend. Please don't let the parking restrictions stop you from letting Congressman Price know how you feel about ObamaCare.

Several people have called Rep. Price's Raleigh office and are being told Price would not be holding any town hall meetings. Huh? Well, what is today's event then?

Well, this event is being organized by SEIU and Organizing for America (which is supported by funds leftover from Obama's campaign). That is why Price's office can say Price is not holding any town halls -- but the Democrats are trying to stacking the deck against freedom-loving Americans this way.
